Damn. I read “The Jaguar Hunter” back when it was released in the late 80s. It was (and is) one of my favorite books. When I was in college, I was lucky enough to take several classes from Tom Clareson, the groundbreaking Science Fiction academic. My senior year, I gave him a copy of “The Jaguar Hunter,” since he’d never heard of Shepard. At one of our last meetings together, we talked about Shepard’s work; Clareson thanked me for introducing him to such a remarkable author.
